Vauxhall Prince Henry

The Vauxhall Prince Henry was a car manufactured by Vauxhall from 1911 to 1914, with a length of around 159 inches and a weight of 2,750 pounds depending on the model and the coachwork fitted. It is often thought of as the first sports car, insofar as its high performance depends less on brute strength and more on overall excellence of design and sturdiness of construction. Known to Vauxhall as their C-10, three specially prepared cars were entered in the 1910 Prince Henry Tour, the 1200 mile trial that gave the model its name.
